He said if they release him he will (Try) to get on Chat or Post this evening. If they release him.
He said he was at work and "Pulled-His-Back-Muscles". I take it that it must have been Bad for him to have gone to the Hospital and still there after 3-4 Days.
Tom, I would have given you a call but do-not have any of your numbers. Sorry

BTW, How about some Post here to CHEER-WAYNE-UP !!!!!!!

Re: Wayne (Excel) Gerdes=Hospital Last 3-4 Days:{UPDATE} 8:45 PM Friday
Hi All:
___Thank you for the kind words.
___Sorry I have not kept up the site like I normally would as news is really stale right now
___I was in Fire Training and we were ventilating the second floor of a burn tower we drill at. Full gear unfortunately The Electric Fan’s we use are ~ 40 - 50 #’s and I carried it up the stairs. I then came back down to grab a cinch type bar and hung that between the door jambs on the second floor entry to hang the fan from. One of the other members was on the side and I was in the front when we lifted the fan. My hook did not catch on my side so I swung around the side and even though she hooked, I felt something let go. A slight twist with a load over my head and that is all she wrote. I made it down just ½ a flight to the first landing before I locked up and couldn’t move … The instructors were right there and knew something was wrong, called off the drill, and helped me down the next few flights to an awaiting chair and ice packs. The Ambulance came, they loaded me up and off I went for the last 36 + hours … Hurt like a SOB and was sick after the morphine but made it through the night. Am home but I cannot sit in this chair to long as it is pain at a 90 degree angle.
___Good Luck
___Wayne

Wayne, your worker's comp rep should be having cold sweats and offering you personal backrubs with mink gloves right now.
If not I'll be happy to drop them a line about at least 2 violations in both training and safety procedures....

I'm glad to hear you're out of the hospital, and hope you are in less pain soon. I hope to see you at next week's meeting in a better condition.

I have found that hypermiling accelerates the healing process. Maybe you can lay down in the passenger seat and I will take you for a 2000+ mile on one tank drive. Just need to borrow that Insight again.... |

i've never pulled my back before, and i lift heavy objects from time to time, so i do not know what's that's like.
From your experience it sounds like your immobilized, glad you surivived through the worse! Hope you get to relax for your recovery.
